Because of that tip, Allison's family was able to be at the hospital with him.

The crash happened around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday as Allison crossed Triplett Boulevard near Lansing Street and was hit by an oncoming car, according to investigators. His head smashed into the car’s windshield.

Police said the 19-year-old driver who hit the man was on her way to work and did not see him before the crash. She is not expected to face charges.
